SWAN SONG (Without Harmony)
It happened one night not long ago
When three men gathered. their pur-
pose we know
To scheme and connive some sort of a
plan
To rid Dallas schools of a capable man
Says Henry, “McHose must go at all
cost.
“If he does”,
is lost”
“And how to appease the town?” says
Eugene,
Who oftimes is heard, but seldom is
seen.
says Harry, “our future
“That is easy”, says Henry, “It won't
be so bad,
We'll use as a buffer, a young local
lad”
‘Whom the town will like and be glad
to accept
Our scheme is perfect, no one will ob-
ject”.
Then later when things are smooth
and serene
We'll bring the real principal into the
scene”
“Wonderful, marvelous”
with grace,
We'll get rid of McHose and still save
my face”.
says Harry
“Splendid, superb, it's a real master
stroke”
Says Eugene with emotion as his voice
starts to choke,
And Henry, a smile at the praise of
«his plot
Was pleased with himself at what he
had thought,
Now we'll announce it without fur-
ther delay
In order to get the plan underway
So in due course the announcement
was made
To the unsuspecting public they hoped |
and they prayed.
Peaches
All but twelve counties in Pennsyl-
vania produced peaches last year.
Franklin, Adams and York counties,
however, grew over half of the State's
total crop which amounted to 442,000
bushels,
But, alas for
conceived
By the public of Dallas was not well
received.
Instead of the praise and the joyous
acclaim
They found that the people were wise
to their game,
the plan they so well
So loud was the roar that for miles
around
People gathered and wondered at what
was abound.
And the children for many a year will
sing
Of how the welkin around Dallas did
ring,
With just resentment and honest
comment
At the injustice to a man with whom
we're content.
This action has given Dallas great
fame
For having a beard without any shame.
‘Which cares not a damn for majority
rule
But want you to know who's running
the school.
Principal and principles to them are as
naught
‘When it's so easy for men to be bought.
What care they for honest intent
With thoughts of power their minds
are bent
Political power and ambitious quest
Have led many a man to forget what is
best.
But listen, dear sirs, too far
have gone
When you miss the difference twixt
what's right and wrong;
The citizens whose trust you've sorely
abused
Wish to inform you they're not amused
| And will not tolerate such actions long
Gentlemen, you've sung a pretty swan
k song,
you

DEED MADE IN 1682 SHOWS |
EXTENT OF BARTER SYSTEM
In these days of tax abatements and legislative discussions on proposed
reductions in the tax burdens of real estate owners, ‘attachees of the land bu-
reau in the Pennsylvania Department of Internal Affairs have uncovered an In-
dian deed to a viece of property acuauired by the agents of William Penn, in
1682, a year before the proprietor of
the Commonwealth came to America,
Names ‘F irebugs’
As Main Cause
Of Forest Fires
Wardens Are Active In
Making Arrests Of
Perverts
The eternal vigilance of State forest
fire wardens, which has resulted in the
apprehension of “firebugs” in various
sections of Pennsylvania recently, has
helped to reduce the fire risk to State
forest areas this spring.
Suits of such nature are pending in
Carbon, Jefferson and Berks counties,
At Mauch Chunk, one man has been
held for court in default of $5,000 bail.
George H. Wirt, chief of the division
of forest protection, Department of
Forests and Waters, today praised the
vigilance of the forest fire wardens,
and blamed the notorious “firebug” as
responsible for much of the damage
done to Pennsylvania's forests each
year.
“A ‘firebug’ is a person who inten-
tionally or maliciously sets fire to the
forest floor, either with the misguided
idea that brush burning has some econ-
omic value to certain crops, or because
he is mentally perverted and receives
some sort of physical reaction to see-
ing a fire burn,’ said Wirt.
“This type of person is most dan-
gerous to forests,” continued Wirt,
“and during the fire season causes
more fires than any other form of in-
cendiarism.
“If the respective county law enforce-
{ment agencies back us in our fight to
| convict these
[them have, the resultant ten years in
[prison or $5,000 fine will discourage a
[lot of people from
[these disastrous conflagrations in our
‘firebugs’, as most of
wilfully starting
forests.”
Contestants Feted
(Continued from Page 1.)
Vincent Shindel and Hiney Kleinkauf
had charge of an impromptu entertain-
ment program which added a great
deal to the merriment of the affair.
$1510 In Fees
One hundred and fifty-one affidavits
of paid in capital brought $1510 into
the office of David IL. Lawrence, Sec-
retary of the Commonwealth, in April.

ranchors of syder,
and at & time when ther: was iittle d.s
cussiicn of land tax problems.
During those early times, little at-
tention was paid to the amount of land
in a tract, and the indenture describes
the parcel of land as beginning at a
certain white oak “now in the tenure of
John Wood over against the falls of the
Delaware River” to a corner marked
“spruce tree” thence northwest to a
“white oak” standing by the Indian
path” that led to an Indian town called
Playwicky, near the head of Tenosiss-
nick Creek. Various other descriptions
of the tract are given but total acreage
is mot shown. .
Little Money
Land prices in those days brought
little in the way of actual cash and
notes, mortgages and other documen-
tary papers did not enter into trans-
actions. The deed, dated June 15, 1682,
shows that the purchase price included
“three hundred and fifty fathoms of
wampam, twenty white blankets, twen-
ty fathoms of strawd waters, sixty fa-
thoms of daffidels, twenty kettles
fower whereof large, twenty gunns,
twenty coates, forty shirts, forty payre
of stockings, forty howes, forty axes,
two barrells of powder, two hundred
barrells of lead, two hundred knives,
two hundred glasses, twelve pyre of
shooes, forty copper boxes, forty to-
bacco tonngs, two small barrell of
pipes, forty payre siissors, forty combs,
twenty fower pounds of red lead, one
hundred aules, two handfulls of fish
hooks, two handfulls of needles, forty
pounds of shot, tenne bundles of beads,
tenne small sawes, twelve drawing
knives, fower anchors of tobacco, two
two anchors of beere
and three hundred gliders.”
“Short Changed”
Apparently the Indians, in taking ac-
count of stock after the transaction,
discovered that they had been “short
changed” to the extent of ten guns, be-
cause to the original deed, dated Au-
gust 1, 1682, was made showing that
the Indians “doe now acknowledge that
the receiipt of the saide tenne guns.”
The section appended also points out
the kind of ‘“wampam’” had not been
originally set forth and that after a
lapse of two weeks, the Indians had de-
cided to accept “one half whyte wam-
pam and the other hayfe black wam-
pam.”
Wampam was used between the In-
dians and early settlers as money for
trading purposes. Wampam consisted
of beads made of shells, and in addi-
tion to being used as money, also
served as ceremonial pledges and orna-
ments, There were two kinds of wam-
pam, black and white, and the ‘white
had only half the value of the black.
The deed is signed with the marks of
a half-dozen Indian chieftains and by
William Markham, who was Penn's de-
puty governor. Written on heavy
parchment, the document is well pre-
served and has created considerable in-
terest among visitors to the Depart-
ment of Internal Affairs.
